If yum has the capability to function with RedHat why should I not be able to use it? I don't know much about all the issues, nor frankly does it have a great deal of impact in my world unless it is restricting me from running the systems in our domain. I was informed that yum would function well for my needs to update my RedHat machines. Now I am hearing that is not true. I just need something that will allow me to keep my Linux machines running smoothly. Steve
